Hi Everybody,
I had my TKR a year ago September 8. I am finding that there's more I cannot do than can do. Before surgery everybody told me how wonderful it will be with a new knee but what they failed to tell me is that I would have many limitations. I am in a real downer right now. I was working on a household project in the bathroom tonight. It is impossible to move about the floor and tight spaces with my knee. My balance isn't what it used to be either. My therapy was successful I suppose to a point. My leg always feels like a piece of steel is in it (titanium) and the only time I'm really comfortable is lying down in a prone position. It frustrates when I can't do things I used to do. My knee just doesn't work that way anymore. Is there anybody out there that can relate to this? I was in tears fighting the bathroom project. And you can't hire everything done especially little things. I need a shoulder. LindaZ
